Following the successful launch of the Nature Blocks™ initiative, Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA) is encouraging all Australians to engage with nature this spring.
As the leading practical environmental group in the nation, CVA has identified five simple, yet impactful, ways for individuals to connect with the natural world to promote both mental and physical health.

Nature Blocks is a fun new way to take action for nature, and improve your wellbeing, too! And it doesn't matter how much time you have available or where you live. Everyone can get involved!
We see a future of thousands of Nature Blocks popping up across Australia that together form the foundation of a wildlife restoration project for Australian biodiversity.
We’re inviting everyone - yes, that means you! - to join the movement, whether you have a sprawling backyard or a cosy balcony.
Imagine if everyone in Australia created a Nature Block? We’d see a revitalised and thriving environment of Australian native plants and animals.
But how do you get started? It’s easy! Download the CVA Community Hub app and get your handy shopping list and step-by-step guide to how to build your own Nature Block.
Start with just a few native plants, add a habitat element and voilà ⎻ you’ve created a stepping stone between existing wildlife corridors in your neighbourhood!
Visit MyNatureBlock.org - or down the app - to get started today.
